The chances to be scammed begin right from the beginning when you try to book your hotel or flight.
It’s not uncommon for the sponsored sites on Google to be paid advertising by a scammer using a deceptive URL and pictures to make itself appear legitimate.
But instead of booking a great hotel, the consumer ends up finding out that their requests can’t be fulfilled, or worse… they don’t even have a hotel reservation.
Due to how extensive this particular type of scam is, a Federal Trade Commission investigation has been called.
Avoid these issues by booking either directly with the hotel or airline, or booking through a site that has a proven reputation.
